金府住 水野源四郎 "Kinfu ju Mizuno Genshirou". This mark is from a fuchi and was made by Genshirou, who worked as a sword engraver (soukenkinkou) in Kaga Province (present-day Ishikawa Prefecture) for the Mizuno house. Soukenkinkou is the Japanese name for metalworkers who design accessories for bladed weapons. A fuchi is a ferrule that is placed between the tsuba and a sword's hilt.
